I dunno, but if one were to take the big guy for his word, one'd think his time better spent going around the various mortuaries in Bellevue and Omaha with a Stanley measuring-tape, and getting estimates and bids on a super-sized receptacle.

The big guy's dying just like the rest of us, who nightly pitch our tent one day's march nearer the mausoleum.
